Hal had two interceptions with long returns to set up Vanderbilt touchdowns in Saturday night’s 41-18 rout of rival Tennessee in Nashville.

Hal also added five tackles while defending Cordarrelle Patterson most of the game and was part of a defensive effort that limited Vols quarterback Tyler Bray to 103 passing yards – the lowest mark of Bray’s career in a start.

A first-year starter, Hal ranks second in the SEC with 13 passes defended this season.

Vanderbilt had three interceptions of Tennessee to help the program finish 5-3 in SEC play. It marked the first time Vanderbilt has won five conference games since 1935.
